Casarett & Doull's Essentials of Toxicology

Casarett & Doull's Essentials of Toxicology, 4th Edition, introduces medical toxicology by distilling core concepts from Casarett & Doull's Toxicology: The Basics of Poison into a concise textbook.

The volume is organized into seven units covering general principles, toxicant disposition, non-organ-directed toxicity, target organ toxicity, toxic agents, environmental toxicology, and applied fields. It addresses topics such as mechanisms of toxicity, toxicokinetics, systemic responses to poisons, and exposures ranging from pesticides to radiation.

Illustrated in full color, the text draws on the work of more than 60 contributors to emphasize clinical relevance for students in toxicology, pharmacology, pharmacy, and environmental sciences. Chapter-ending questions and answers provide practice and self-assessment.
